!
Hello,
I have looked but could find centralized information on this topic - plus I am new to this.
My issue is: I would like to stop using an usb stick for feeding 3d data to my printer. Instead, a cable solution or a wireless solution would be great. This should be a simple data feed. I don't want to directly access printing capability from my laptop to the Prusa. But rather have wired/wireless access to a data storage solution and run prints the old fashion way through the printer menu.
I hope I explained this well enough for you guys to chip in.
By the way: This is my first 3D Printer and I love it. Totally hooked. Super pumped.
Thx for your help, legends!!!
Cheers, Marc

There have been several discussions of SD cards with wifi capabilities on this forum. IIRC the reviews were mixed, at best. One example: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-hardware-firmware-and-software-help/sd-cards-with-wi-fi/

I am using a FlashAir SD card on mine and I can read/write to the printer via WiFi to my laptop as a network directory.
There are several postings on the FlashAir in this forum
If yours accept a USB stick there are also WiFi USB sticks that provide the same functions.
